1964 and two days before St. Patrick’s Day, so the Liffey might not have been too bad but cold, wind, rain, and “weather” were all likely! We’ve seen this scene before from different angles, and my favourite is looking in the opposite direction up at the magnificent Christ Church!

15 March 1964 was a Sunday . . . I wonder where else Mr O'Dea went that day.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]] I think your Vauxhall is an Opel Rekord P2 'Caravan' - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Rekord_P2 And I am not convinced with the Fiat 600; the rear pillars are too thin - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_600 Possibly an East German import full of Cold War spies?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia Well, both Opel and Vauxhall sold their versions of the same car in Ireland at the time, hard to tell the difference between them.

I think the odd one "??" is a NSU Prinz - [https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/34400713060/] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSU_Prinz Ed. Short history of NSU in Ireland - www.kilkennymotorclub.com/2011/02/14/nsu-ireland-new-webs...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia My bad, the air intakes were in the engine hood. What about a Prinz 4?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] I remember comparing the Record and the Victor parked side by side and couldn't see any real difference between them, they even had the same colour upholstery. Eventually the Vauxhall was withdrawn from the Irish market, possibly due to a perceived difference in build quality. Still don't sell Vauxhall here.

Here's a nostalgic video from the same era, but driving up Winetavern St. Around 9:15 youtu.be/o_6pNfs3HAQ

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] It's my understanding that sometime in the early '80s GM decided to keep Vauxhall as a nameplate for the UK only because fleet buyers there wanted a "British" car, not a "German" Opel. I think the Astra is the only model still (and long standing) built in two factories and Irish-market ones, while branded Opel, are made in the Ellesmere Port Vauxhall factory (as were Australia-bound Holden branded Astras) because it made sense to concentrate all right-hand-drive production there. Thus far PSA/Stellantis has kept the same policy. Easy way to tell a '60s Rekord/Victor apart is that if it's a two-door it's an Opel. Vauxhall Victors were always 4/5-door cars
